2.00I booked the 2:30 times ticket because the 1:30 entry was sold out. When I received the tickets they were for 4pm instead of 2:30.
Be early and have time for the gardens

2.00Get early in line for the scheduled time as they are long and it might take 30 minutes to enter the palace. I would focus on the main rooms in the palace like the hall of mirrors and pass quickly through the galleries to have more time for the gardens
Take lots of extra cash...

5.00Take lots of extra cash as everything outside of the Palace and gardens costs. The grounds are amazing.
